Questions in the States 2/11/10.

4. The Deputy of St. Mary will ask the following question of the Chief Minister –
“The Napier Report (paragraph 67) records that the Solicitor General advised the Director of
Human Resources – “I would urge that particular caution be exercised to check that there are
no provisos or caveats to any of the conclusions reached upon which reliance is to be placed”;
would the Chief Minister informs members why this advice was not followed and when he
considers it is acceptable to ignore repeated legal advice?”





10. The Deputy of St. Martin will ask the following question of the Chief Minister –
“Will the Chief Minister assist Members when debating proposition P.166/2010 by agreeing
to release the confidential e-mail he sent to the Deputy of St. Martin at 21.03 on Monday 27th
September 2010 with the heading ‘Napier’, if not, why not.




16. The Deputy of St. Mary will ask the following question of the Minister for Home Affairs –
“What was the basis on which the then Deputy Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police
commissioned the report from the Metropolitan Police on 27th August 2008, was the advice
of ACPO followed in the commissioning of this report, and does the Minister consider that
use of that report, as detailed in the Napier report, was consistent with best practice and has it
damaged relations with the Metropolitan Police?”

This line or questioning is getting cumbersome now. They are not getting anywhere and Deputy Wimberley dug himself into a hole yesterday.

I believe by so visibly being held back from getting anywhere with their line of questioning, they are getting somewhere.

As the Internet reveals, the public are beginning to take notice and ask questions of their own. That in itself is a victory of sorts on an island so traditionally politically apathetic as Jersey.

Remarkable demonstration of the power of the Jersey bloggers to challenge a notoriously undemocratic system. Hope your blogs are well supported by those who are lucky to have access to the truth. After the media exposure of the abuse scandal, who is left who hasn't guessed that little Jersey, despite being so close to the Continent, remains such a thoroughly corrupt place. Cover up then and cover up now of the cover up.
